Echinacea was a key part of Native Americans’ healing knowledge, as shown by archaeological finds from 1600s Lakota Sioux villages.
Traditional healers used Echinacea to treat wounds, burns, toothaches, sore throats, coughs, stomach cramps, as well as insect and snakebites.
Native American tribes shared their rich medical knowledge with European settlers, sparking a growing interest in the plant’s properties.
Since the 19th century, Echinacea has repeatedly gained popularity for it’s ability to relieve cold & flu symptoms by supporting the immune system.
